Didn't actually happen until slightly but significantly later than the
Apollo prototypes. The first couple of prototypes of the Apollo guidance
computer contained most of the world's ICs at the time. MIT (on behalf of
NASA) was placing large production orders, and working with the suppliers
to get reliability up, at a time when everybody else was still playing
with samples and wondering whether they should commit to using these
new-fangled gadgets.
